  1. Miller to COL makes a ton of sense for me.  They are a contender, have the assets and with Kadri a UFA it could give them legit championship shot this year and next.  Cap gymnastics might be needed but if you can pry a Newhook or Byram as part of a deal out of COL count me in.

      Have to be Newhook, Barron and a throw in pick...

    3. N4ZZY

      I agree. It’s got to be Newhook, Barron, and a 1st or a high 2nd. Does JR look at that, and see that as being as good as it gets?

      Newhook would be great but I'd be surprised if they moved him, Byram has concussion concerns so I'm wary

      @brilac my wife and I are crazy animal people.  I had the sense your cats stayed indoors- just wanted to ask.  I'm guessing boredom and inactivity isn't an issue for u?  I just went out and bought the smallest harness possible.  Tomorrow is day 1 of outside leash training.  As far as outdoor cats go, I completely understand.  Had to save a small cat the other night on my way home from an owl stalking it.  

       

      @King Heffyfor sure.  We only buy good quality pet food from our pet store.  Wet food only for this little guy

      @SILLY GOOSE, Georgie is a lot of fun! I got her at the perfect time in February.  She loves all her toys, has taken over the living room, demands being petted, only drinks water from the sink, enjoys watching TV, and thinks the Yoga mat is hers.  She's laying on it right now.

      @Elias Pettersson You would probably be complaining as well if they let him walk free.

    3. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Benning allowed our top players to walk for free. Not a 4th liner. Big difference. Trying to make a playoff push and make the playoffs with the best 4th line in the NHL in my opinion was more important than getting a 4th round pick. 

    4. bigbadcanucks

      bigbadcanucks

      Push for the playoffs?  Yah, that train has left the station, with or without Motte.  This version of the Canucks will be lucky if they end the season 2-3 games above .500.  I'll be shocked if the Canucks can play .500 hockey the rest of the season. 

      The best fourth line in the NHL is going to give you a good shot at the playoffs?  Not likely when your best players aren't the best players every night.

      If he can play well in his own zone, PK and play tough he's got a definite shot of making the roster.  TIME TO MILLY ROCK

      This is a great opportunity for Juolevi or Holm to grab a full time job this year.

  7. OK.  Listening to Canucks media availability zoom calls.  There is a female host/PR person? that keeps cutting people off after an initial answer when media presents questions.  Can someone please rationalize this for me because it is DRIVING ME &^@#ING CRAZY.

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      What about the media person that hosted the draft lottery yesterday? I'm like could you be a more corporate shill? 

      This is the problem with media. People will give anything to make money, and be on TV. 

      They will sell out all their principles to make a buck. 

       

  8. OK.  Looks like Matt Benning is going to be an UFA.  I think he would be a great fit but get the feeling he doesn't want his uncle to be a distraction

      He probably won't be signed here. Benning's gonna cost too much and I think the nepotism factor between him and Jim may mean he avoids signing Matthew. Watch him end up in Pittsburgh or something.

    3. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      His likely QA would've been around $2 million.  That's WAY too much for us (given our present cap situation).  If he's looking for the league minimum (which would fit our structure), the Coilers could just as well beat that by half a million.

    4. RonMexico

      RonMexico

      Oooof Coilers get 13 games out of Athanasiou for two 2nd round picks. Benning would have been drawn and quartered for letting that happen.

  11. Paypal Gurus: I'm interested in putting a deposit down for an item, the rest when we are eventually able to meet.  Anyone have an idea how to create an agreement/proof of purchase via paypal that safely covers my deposit (i.e. it gets returned if I don't get the item)?

      Get the seller to send you an actual invoice not just a request for the money. It's one of the options provided. The invoice allows the seller to write the item/terms/conditions/price, basically any details you want. That's more for full purchases in complete though. Might be different for deposits? I personally would just recommended completing the transaction in full when you can rather than any kind of deposit. 

    3. Angry Goose

      Angry Goose

      @RRypien37 Luckily the seller seems laid back and will hold onto the items for me.  Perfect!  But if I need to do a deposit that's some good info that you suggested.  

    4. RRypien37

      RRypien37

      @SILLY GOOSE I would get him to send you an official invoice rather than just a money request either way. Covers you much better regardless if its the full money up front deal.

      Dogs were never really treated well by authorities. The police force and military literally use them carelessly. Many of those dogs die for ridiculously pathetic reasons like being left in a car.

  15. Predictions on where UFA Motte lands? Contract? Im betting he didnt think he was going to be still waiting for a contract at this point.  His rumoured ask of 2million + from the Canucks seems to have backfired.

      I actually really enjoyed listening to him. I thought he may come off as a sarcastic ego mad party guy, but he had some good things to say and probably has a ton of great stories to share. He seems up front, wouldn't hold much back, and is honest. Listening to him talk about facing the Hawks back in the day, the hatred between teams and how fun that was. It brought back memories of that rivalry.

      Angry Goose

      @King Heffy I cant see them losing Markstrom and Toffolii- I would be very surprised.  Markstrom is the lynchpin holding things up.  If it looks like Markstrom is priced out I bet they get Toffoli signed asap & find someone to split duties with Demko

      $10 million/ 2 year contract ($5 AAV), no clause, but a statue to immortalize him outside Rogers Arena for his MVP seasons.  Hope they don't give him more than Lehner, and certainly not more term.

      @PhillipBlunt Dont think Shaw was really that huge of a difference maker.  That style of defending is pretty much league standard.  Canucks were still getting shelled nightly and dealing with extended D zone shifts. But at least they didnt look so discombobulated with who is checking who.  

    4. PhillipBlunt

      PhillipBlunt

      I do. His approach and systems were part of what made the d-corps in both St. Louis and Columbus effective for the time he was there and for at least a season or two after he left both teams as a defensive coach.
